About me
I was ready to tell
the story of my life
but the ripple of tears
and the agony of my heart
wouldn’t let me
i began to stutter
saying a word here and there
and all along i felt
as tender as a crystal
ready to be shattered
in this stormy sea
we call life
all the big ships
come apart
board by board
how can i survive
riding a lonely
little boat
with no oars
and no arms
my boat did finally break
by the waves
and i broke free
as i tied myself
to a single board
though the panic is gone
i am now offended
why should i be so helpless
rising with one wave
and falling with the next
i don’t know
if i am
nonexistence
while i exist
but i know for sure
when i am
i am not
but
when i am not
then i am
now how can i be
a skeptic
about the
resurrection and
coming to life again
since in this world
i have many times
like my own imagination
died and
been born again
that is why
after a long agonizing life
as a hunter
i finally let go and got
hunted down and became free

A charm invests a face Let not the sorry plight of the garden upset the gardener; …When the leaves begin 2 fall I see them walking and riding and assembling—all those myriads of white-garbed pilgrims of thirteen hundred years; I hear the sounds of their passed-away days; the wings of the faith which has drawn them together to this land of rocks and sand and seeming deadness beat again with the warmth of life over the arc of centuries, and the mighty wingbeat draws me into its orbit and draws my own passed-away days into the present, and once again I am riding over the plain—riding in a thundering gallop over the plain, amidst thousands and thousands of ihram-clad beduins, returning from Arafat to Mecca. ~Muhammad Asad Sometimes in order to help He makes us cry. O Allah, I ask of You those things which will procure Your mercy, and I ask for Your immense forgiveness, and I ask for complete safety from [committing] sins, and a full share of virtuous deeds, and salvation by attaining Paradise and deliverance from Hell. |

walaikum salam wrt wbt danish,
i doubt people would convert upon reading the blogs no matter how scintillating reads they are
but hopefully they learn something about ordinary muslims living in the US and maybe something about syria, hajj, islam, the arab world or something. thanx for writing a comment!
i couldnt believe that you will answer me immediately
actually i’ve some friend in my country ….he’d learn every about islam in website and he never met any muslim but after 2 years he converted to islam
alhamdulilah
Nice website…. some lady in your guestbook was actually asking about how to convert.. or wat it requires to convert to Islam .. maybe u should look into it if u havent already..
As-salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah.
All thanks to Almighty Allah and than for you to create so nice website. I really impressed to find such site in my life. day before yesterday, i was searching one article about Social responsibilities of Muslim ummah in this world. I was searching trhough google and finally find you site. First attractiond i have had is its nicename and what is our ultimate target. Since my childhood, i used to learn about me and very deeply tring to find our why my existence have been done in this earth…and so on. ultimately Allah gave me opportunity to complete my Honors in Al Azhar University with scholarship and now His excellency is gracing me by giving more opportunity to complete my master at International Islamic University Malaysia. I am very impresed to your site fo 2 reasons: 1- I got here many articles that is very valuable for us and 2- your ambition that you are dreaming is same of my ambition. I really proud for you that you choosed one great Quranic verse ” Wa ujlifatil Jannatu lil Muttaqina Gaira Ba’iid”. This is our ultimate target. Many thanks to you. May Allah accept all Muslaim and Muslimah as you and as give them Hidayah in order to proceed hapily to Paradise. Amin. Jajaka Allahu khairal jaja fi darain.

It’s refreshing to read your blog about your views on Islam. Perhaps you can help open the eyes of many prejudiced people out there who refuse to believe that Islam is a peaceful religion.
Kudos! =D
salam…
i used to scoff at some of others(muslimah’s blogs)….but by some stroke of luck i found Medina al-Muslimeen… it really changes the way i think & act… IT”S WONDERFUL.. KEEP IT UP!
I have one suggestion … could you please add one board on your forum…. for a chronic patient or cancer survivors … not for medical advice but more on a spiritual side….. to share their stories or experienced as a care taker….. im myself a cancer survivor… alhamdulillah…
Assalamu Alikum.
Hope allah will reward all of your efforts and maximum pople can get some lights about the ‘real way of life’.
We have a plan to start a web project with the same intetion, Insha Allah.

Assalamu’alaikum:
I like your work in the youtube video title “Hajj - A Journey of the Heart” posted a year(?) ago. I’d like to get your permission to use that for our program video/slideshow in our masjid in welcoming back the hujjaj. And being a non-IT person, the next question would be “how to download it to a computer.. coz I cannot find any ‘download’ button in the youtube page.
MashaAllah.. a beautiful work.

Assalaamu ‘alaykum,
Nice blog! I like your new cairo post. Are you going to visit family or to study?
I noticed your education background, and I’m on a similar track. I was interested in knowing what your thesis was on.
Take care!
ma’a assalaam
ma sha Allah, nice
